Ultimate PS3 Buying Guide: Best Consoles, Games, Controllers, Accessories, PS Store, Etc.

But over the years I’ve gotten a lot of questions about buying for it. So let’s try and knock everything out in one video. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the consoles, games to look out for, OEM controllers, accessories, storage options and more. Can you feel it Mr. Krabs? That’s the CELL/BE baby. And it’s READY.
